Encryption is essentially a function, f(x), that sends plaintext, x, to encrypted text, f(x). The public key is the recipy on how to perform f, and the private key is essentially the inverse of f. Note, the only assumption so far on f, is that it has an inverse, which is hard to find given only f.
Ok, now, a homeomorphic crypto algorithm f has the following additional properties:
f(x+y) = f(x) (+) f(y),
f(x*y) = f(x) (*) f(y),
where (+) and (*) are some mathematical binary operators, that are known. Thus, if I know f(x), f(y), I just perform (+) on these two, and arrive at f(x+y). Notice, I did not need to know x or y, the plaintext data!
The trouble is, finding a crypto with good strength with both (+) and (*) is hard. (Finding only (*) is easy for RSA-like cryptos). Now, for this to be useful, (+) and (*) should not be too slow to perform in practice.
Now, why both + and * ? Well, these operators alone can, when composed together, give any other function:

Using such a scheme, any circuit can be homomorphically evaluated, effectively allowing the construction of programs which may be run on encryptions of their inputs to produce an encryption of their output.

You can create circuits of redstone, and "and", "or" and "not"-gates. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Redstone_circuits This is what I refer to.

The game was well worth the 10 euro I paid for it. Found a nice multiplayer server with a great community, lots of people are regulars where I play. The amazing thing is to see all the new creations since last visit: Minecraft sort of have the same charm as Lego, I mean there is no ultimate goal in Lego, you just build stuff. The world of minecraft is complex enough to be Turing complete.

Mathematica supports greek letters as variables, as well as variables with subscript and much more. However, everything CAN be typed from a keyboard, \[Alpha] yields the greek letter alpha.

In that case, the direction would be relative to the earth, but I interpret this experiment as a part of the sky being special. That means, fixing the position of "telescope", would give different results on the day, when the earth rotates. If the magnetic field was the culprit, the reading would be the same as long as the position of the telescope is fixed.

I can't believe people still are religious in public. That is like telling everyone you have aids. FYI: I am from Sweden.

I had a 6 hour long train ride to do, and I put on a 1h long clip of binaural sounds in my headphones. I must say,... ...it didn't do shit. I mean, there were absolutely no effect on me whatsoever. The effect is probably VERY individual, and is mostly placebo, I guess. The only weird audio experience I have had was when I listened to the same (oldschool rave) song for an entire day on repeat. When I turned off the music, I could still hear the sound, as if it was still playing.

Well, the plot is obvious: Neytiri will be visiting earth, and start dating a young diplomat instead, whom she falls in love with and takes back to pandora. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas_II:_Journey_to_a_New_World

I couldn't follow your calculations, but your answer is ok; http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(12*10^6+light+years%29+%2F+%281000000+km%2Fh+*+%2824*365+hours%2Fyear%29%29 Using units in the calculations makes it easier.

Word for word copying is of course protected, but proofs themselves; results, are not. Noone cannot copyright a new for example, if I were to prove Rule 110 Turing completeness, then I can publish the result. The same is not true for music; listening to a song written by someone else, and then playing it on my own instrument is in some cases illegal if I play it for others, or put it on youtube.
